Installation & Operation Manual
8Field wiring (continued)
System supply sensor
1.By installing the system supply sensor into the supply of the primary loop, the temperature of the system supply can be controlled. The SMART SYSTEM control automatically detects the presence of this sensor, and controls the boiler firing rate to maintain the system supply temperature to the set point (if the outlet sensor control is currently selected). See the Knight XL Service Manual for instructions on how to use the inlet sensor as the controlling sensor. When the inlet sensor is programmed as the controlling sensor, it is vital that the SYSTEM SUPPLY sensor be installed. DO NOT INSTALL THE SYSTEM SUPPLY SENSOR INTO THE SYSTEM RETURN.
2.Connect these terminals to the system supply sensor (FIG.
Boiler management system
1.An external control may be connected to control either the firing rate or the set point of the boiler. Connect the Room Thermostat / Zone Control terminals to the enable output of the external control and connect the 0 - 10 VDC terminals to the 0 - 10 VDC output of the external control.
2.Make sure the ground terminal is connected to the ground output terminal of the external control, and the 0 - 10 VDC terminal is connected to the 0 - 10 VDC terminal of the external control.
Runtime contacts
The SMART SYSTEM control closes a set of dry contacts whenever the burner is running. This is typically used by Building Management Systems to verify that the boiler is responding to a call for heat.
Alarm contacts
The SMART SYSTEM control closes another set of contacts whenever the boiler is locked out or the power is turned off. This can be used to turn on an alarm, or signal a Building Management System that the boiler is down. Note that these contacts will close momentarily at the end of each call for heat or at least every 24 hours.
Wiring of the cascade
When wiring the boilers for Cascade operation, select one boiler as the Leader boiler. The remaining boilers will be designated as Members. See page 55 “Configuration of the Cascade” for a detailed explanation of this procedure.
Connect the system supply sensor and outdoor air sensor (if used) to the Leader boiler. For the Cascade system to work properly the system supply sensor must be installed. The location of the system supply sensor should be downstream of the boiler connections in the main system loop (FIG.’s
If outdoor air reset is desired, the outdoor air sensor should be wired to the Low Voltage Connection Board at the terminals marked for the outdoor air sensor (FIG.
If a Thermostat or Zone Control enable output is available, it should be wired to the Low Voltage Connection Board on the Leader boiler at the terminals marked for the Room Thermostat/Zone Control (FIG.
Communication between the Leader boiler and the Member boilers is accomplished by using shielded,
